It has also initiated the Site Acceptance Test (SAT). Havelsan previously signed a contract with Turkish Airlines for the procurement of a total of 11 A320 CEO NEOs and Boeing 737 Max full flight simulators.

While the SAT is in progress, Havelsan will embark on the EASA Certification of its simulator as with the EASA approval, all of the Havelsan -manufactured full flight simulators will be EASA certified including the Boeing B737NG and Boeing B737MAX. With these state-of-the-art simulators, the pilots will receive their training in simulators that are indistinguishable from real aircraft and highly reliable.

Over the last few months of 2023, Havelsan has achieved a number of significant milestones as it ramps up its activities to support airlines and pilot training organisations including the EASA certification of two Boeing B737MAX full flight simulators, along with announcing the opening of a new Turkish Airline Training Centre within Havelsan’s premises.
